How to Make Tabs in GIMP
The open-source graphics program GIMP puts its vast assortment of tools at your fingertips with the creation of tabs. Each tab represents a separate tool and allows you one-click access to the features you need. These tabs may reside on one or several windows, which may be positioned independently of the main program and the images you edit. Once created, tabs may be consolidated into a single window, or section of a window. This allows you utter flexibility when creating your workspace.
